STEP 3 – X-PRESS™ CONFIGURATION
X-PRESS™ is the intuitive Human Machine Interface designed to improve ease of
installation and maintenance.
Status and diagnostic information are clearly presented by means of the five colored LEDs,
whereas the single push button gives immediate access to the following relevant functions:
AutoSetup to self-optimize and auto-configure
reading performance in demanding applications
AutoLearn to self-detect and auto-configure for
reading unknown barcodes (by type and length)
Test Mode with bar-graph visualization to check
static reading performance
NOTE
If using the OM2000N accessory, when entering the X-PRESS™ interface,
the Oscillating Mirror remains in the default fixed position (-15°) in order to
make barcode reading easier while performing the X-PRESS™ functions.
The colors and meaning of the five LEDs are illustrated in the following table:
READY (green) This LED indicates the device is ready to operate.
GOOD (green) This LED confirms successful reading.
TRIGGER (yellow) This LED indicates the status of the reading phase.
COM (yellow) This LED indicates active communication on main serial port. *
STATUS (red) This LED indicates a NO READ result.
* When connected to a Fieldbus network through the CBX500, the COM LED is always active, even in the
absence of data transmission, because of polling activity on the Fieldbus network.
During the reader startup (reset or restart phase), all the LEDs blink for one second.
On the back of the reader near the cable, the “POWER ON” LED indicates the laser scanner
is correctly powered.

B) wait until the LEARN LED stays
steady on (indicating the reader
has detected the barcode).
C) repeat, if needed, the above
two steps to program up to 10
different barcodes (the LEARN
LED returns to the blinking state
for the next code). If more than
one barcode is detected in the
scan line, the Multi Label mode
is enabled (refer to the “2K/4K
Family Software Configuration
Parameter Guide” Help file).
3. Exit the process by pressing the X-PRESS™ push button once. The scanner will restart
at the end of the process, and then the detected barcodes are automatically configured in
scanner memory.
NOTE
If the barcode cannot be read because of low contrast or excessive ambient
light, you can perform the AutoSetup function to optimize the optical
parameters. Then you can perform AutoLearn to recognize the barcode
symbology.
NOTE
On exit from Autolearn, the following parameters are forced: Code
Combination = Single Label, Reading Mode = Linear. If necessary, these
parameters can be changed through Genius™.
* In case of Programming Barcodes (refer to the “Setup Procedure Using Programming Barcodes” document in
the product CD).

STEP 4 – INSTALLING GENIUS™ CONFIGURATION PROGRAM
Genius
™
is a Datalogic scanner configuration tool providing several important advantages:
Wizard approach for new users;
Multi-language version;
Defined configuration directly stored in the reader;
Communication protocol independent from the physical interface allowing to consider the
reader as a remote object to be configured and monitored.
To install Genius™, turn on the PC that will be used for the configuration, running
Windows 98, 2000/NT, XP, Vista or 7, then insert the Genius™ CD-ROM, wait for the CD
to autorun and follow the installation procedure.
